It’s no secret that Honda’s Turbo Civic is extremely susceptible to heat-soak, especially when retaining the factory intercooler. Excessive heat-soak increases the risk of detonation and causes major power loss due to high charge air and cylinder temperatures. These issues become even more prevalent with spirited driving and/or increased power outputs. The PRL Motorsports intercooler upgrade decreases charge air temperatures while increasing potential airflow with its dense 28.35 x 4.3 x 7.25" 600+ horsepower rated bar-and-plate core. Our intercooler core increases surface area by 31% and internal flow to allow optimal cooling and airflow. Billet machined aluminum end tanks maximize efficiency while looking as smooth as they flow! This intercooler utilizes factory mounting spots with our billet machined end tanks as well as all factory air ducts/shrouds. We extended the intercooler fins to take up the entire width of the front bumper's opening to allow for adequate cooling to/through the intercooler into the radiator.
